Jeremy Cowart’s Photographers Toolkit Our good friend Jeremy Cowart recently made his Photographers Toolkit available for free download! If you’re curious about the gear Jeremy uses to make the amazing images he creates, just sign up for his mailing list and you’ll get a link to download this PDF. He covers everything from his cameras and lenses to apps to desks to lights and everything in between. Rather than try to explain it myself, here’s a blurb from the toolkit intro:

Just imagine we're sitting down at a coffee shop and I'm quickly telling you about my latest favorite pieces of gear. That's the idea and tone behind everything below. If you want all the super impersonal, technical details about gear then well, there are a million other places to go for that.

This isn’t THE guide for photographers, this is MY guide. These are the actual items that I own and use on a daily basis. I don't necessarily have all the latest greatest versions of everything, so some of the items below might be a little outdated. But if they're here, that means I'm currently still using them and loving them. I've collected them over time, and would suggest you do the same with your gear. You don't need to go out and buy everything you want right away. Pick a few that you enjoy and go create great art.
